CPE Credit for ERPA

[Rai401k]

Does any have any suggestions for ce credits, I guess I need to get the ball rolling to get enough credits for this year.

I know ASPPA is an approved sponsor, I'll most likely will use them. Just curious to see what everyone else is doing?

Haven't looked that closely but for now am hoping the ASPPA continuing ed requirements will take care of most of it. I know there are some particular components such as ethics that have their own hours requirements so it does require more careful attention.

Ok I have another question regarding the ERPA designation. This might be a stupid one but here it goes...

What number do we use on form 2848 or 8821 when filing? is it the one on the card that we received (2009-XXXXXX-XX) or do we just use (XXXXXX-XX) no year.

Don't put the year in front. If your card # is 2009-000099-EP then on the 2848, you enter 000099-EP.

Just wondering if anyone who recently became an ERPA has identified an ethics training that is eligible for credit for 2009?

ASPPA added ethics sessions to their conferences. I think other organizations did the same. ASPPA also has a recorded webcast session intended to provide 2 hours of ethics credits.

Does anyone know if all ASPPA credit will qualify for ERPA CE?

[Kevin C]

ASPPA conferences and webcasts should count. ASPPA also gives CE credits for passing exams. I don't think those will count for ERPA credits.
